Description

Touted as "the gold of the Incas", quinoa (pronounced
keen-wah) has many health benefits. It is high in both
protein and fiber, gluten-free, and has been known to help those
with cardiovascular health problems, as well as people who suffer
from migraine headaches. Research also shows that the nutritional
composition of quinoa is important in fighting breast cancer,
especially in post-menopausal women. It is a great gluten
alternative, and provides complete protein in vegetarian or vegan
dishes. Not only does it have all of these phenomenal health
qualities, quinoa is also delicious and extremely versatile!

Quinoa can be made into a breakfast porridge, stuffed into a
wrap for lunch, combined with vegetables for a hearty salad, rolled
with spices and breadcrumbs to make a delicious burger, and added
to an assortment of cakes and breads for an extra protein punch.
Cooking with Quinoa for Dummies shows you how you can easily

snacks.
